Bloom

This month at Scrap Around the World we had a very interesting Mood Board to work with designed by the uber talented Terhi Koskinen!

I was mostly inspired by the colors the blue and the yellow. Yet somehow I came up with this:

I went wild with color and mixed media. I mostly tried to focus around the blue and yellow but added a little orangey redish color for fun. I dug deep into my stash and used Prima's Zephr papers. I remember when I first bought them I fell in love with the bold colors and gorgeous flowers and now I finally got to use them! And now for some close-ups!

I used a Prima stencil on the background and then misted with Prima's Glistening Waves, Heidi Swapp's Tropicana Teal and Tattered Angels Sunshine Sisters. Then I used a sponge and dabbed on some acrylic silks for fun.

I also did some stamping around the page with a Prima word stamp and a leaf stem stamp I've had forever! I also used my wheat stamp to do some fun embossing on the page with some glitter embossing powder. You can see here just a fraction of the sparkle it gives off! Of course all the embellies are from the Prima Zephyr line! The twine I colored with mist and added a bow behind the orange flower.

Wood ticket also from the Prima Zephr line.

I went around part of the page just to break up the color with another mask but this time used black embossing powder to add a bit of a border and my title.

Lots of Prima flowers! You can see here in the yellow moulding paste that I used glass beads on some of the masked elements.

Last close-up.

I know these post are long so I will end it here. I also know that my blog has run dry as of late due to me trying to adjust to working again as well as undertaking a big renovation in our house. Now that the reno is done I am hoping to get more accomplished and see you more often! Don't give up on me yet! I promise there is more to come! All the best! :)
